Birch bark was my first ever knife handle and still my favorite. It’s so nostalgic now for me. Beautiful knives.

This one should arrive on Saturday. I'm looking forward to being able to figure out the signatures on it, it's hard to tell from the photo.

I think it reads"Iisakki Jarvenpaa" "Kauhava" (town)
"Made in Finland"

Nice example from probably the largest maker of puukko for over 100 years in Finland.

That's some collection you're building there fella. I'm jealous!

I purchased a Wood Jewel leuku knife for modifications and this is the result. I reshaped the handle and made a seax - style sheath using mostly materials from the original sheath. The idea is to carry it slanted either at the side, at 5 o'clock or behind the back, edge up. Blade is 21 cm, overall 34 cm.

Puukko from maker Jelio Tenev just arrived.

I just received this one yesterday. It is marked “AK.” It seems like the maker, Altti Kankaanpaa, is well known. I love the thick handle and big belly.

As someone who owns probably the most Pasi's I have ever seen.. what would you say sets his work apart from other makers you've owned?

lisantica. NICE! I lucked out and got a large OK puukko last month from the Cutting Edge on AG Russells site. Marked as unknown Finnish maker in the catalog. John
